South Suburban Park and Recreation District Mission and Goals IT (continued) Accomplishments 1. Replaced 49 Desktop PCs and added 8 additional PCs to District Inventory. We purchased “green” computers, which are partially made from recycled materials and designed to have a longer lifespan than traditional desktop PCs. 2. Added a rewritten Program Registration Module to our array of custom-built applications. This application allows users to enroll in programs and purchase a daily admission or a pass in a single transaction. 3. Renegotiated our T1 contracts, increasing speed at South Platte Park and Sheridan Recreation Center while not increasing costs. This renegotiation also allowed us to put Willow Spring Service Center and Colorado Journey on the District network, also at no additional costs. 4. Replaced our email software with Exchange 2010, allowing users a more robust email system and increasing the ability of employees to use smart phones to access email. 5. Developed a Smart Phone policy that governs acceptable phone models and levels of support given to approved staff. 6. Replaced three aging servers with newer models that will ensure uptime, increase performance, and decrease bottlenecks across the District. 7. Replaced our old internal web server with a newer machine with better performance. 8. Worked with Finance staff to upgrade the District Financial hardware and Software 9. Installed a security system at the Administration office, maintaining PCI compliance. 10. Began rewriting the public website, starting with a simplified and more attractive navigation scheme. 11.
